how to install Accortec 10GBASE-SR SFP+ Module

• Prepare your equipment: power down or ensure the device supports hot‑swap if you plan to install without powering down, and identify an available SFP+ slot in your switch, router, or media converter.
• Remove the SFP+ cage from the slot and inspect the connector area to ensure it’s free of debris; handle the module by the edges to avoid touching optical components.
• Insert the Accortec SFP+ module gently into the SFP+ slot until it seats firmly with a click; ensure the latch engages securely to prevent accidental withdrawal.
• Connect your multimode fiber cable using LC duplex connectors to the module; verify the polarity and seating of the fiber in the fiber housing to avoid misalignment.
• Power on the device (or continue operation if hot‑swap is supported) and verify link status and negotiated speed through the device management interface or CLI; perform basic throughput tests if needed to confirm link integrity.
• Keep fiber ends clean and properly capped when not in use; observe minimum bend radii and avoid tight wraps that could degrade signal quality over time.
